Tales of the Jedi took my muse, forced a 4Loco down its throat and whispered in its ear “they must draw Ahsoka and they must do it now”

so this happened

We’ll see if I can do the other two ‘eras’ to complete the set, but if nothing else, I’m very proud of how ‘Soka turned out here. also THANK YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE, FOR GIVING THIS CHILD A SHIRT

the gays continue to miscommunicate!  Went a bit messy just to move on with the story. why yes I do project my autism onto Kallus why do you ask page 4 is up now on my patreon and will be posted publicly next month along with whatever else I finish~! {pg1} 🌘  twitter | patreon | instagram  🌒

Directly inspired by @gettiregretti’s A+ Lira San fashion (outfit, cute couple pic)

I’ve drawn a lot of ‘future’ Kallus stuff but none of them have hit the mark like this. Nonbinary, transfem Kallus has been an important, like. ‘Happy Thought’ for me the last year, and it means a lot to finally get them down in a way that felt ‘right’. Where I finally got the curves down and they feel sexy without feeling too hyper sexualized, where they’re visibly well fed and fit. 

I’m skipping posting this to patreon bc I don’t want to give in to the part of me that’s embarrassed of a pic that genuinely makes me so happy. Fuck that. I’m proud of this, this is a reflection of me and my shit, and I want other ppl to see it.

the tattoos are from their life before the Empire, all but the lasat stripes which are done in sort of burnt umber. The bangle on their right wrist is a Lifemate band, carved by Zeb out of wood taken from one of the trees on their homestead, wrap made from soft leather acquired on hunts they’ve taken together. They’ve gotten their nails treated so they’re a little stronger than the normal human, because Gender and also FOMO from living on a world where everyone else has claws.

a panel I won’t be using bc it’s just a touch too reassuring the updated one is much more angy

do you know how good it feels to finally do some shippy bullshit with the two idiots that have been my comfort-ship for over a YEAR? IT FEELS REALLY GOOD.  I’ll be working on more of the comic tonight, the next page is almost done!  {pg2,3}

I didn’t have to render Hera lovingly for a meme, but I’m not taking it back and you can’t make me

[nicki0kaye]

look sometimes I just need to fuck up the pretty boy ok A ‘What If’ au where Kallus is TF’d into a Corusanti Ogre. Y’know. Because Irony. The bottom sketches were done a couple months ago and yes were very Bloodborne inspired. Kal has more of a baby face going in those and the Zeb I dropped in for scale is giving ‘he said no pickles’ vibes which is a delight all on its own

[nicki0kaye]

You know who deserved a nice night out? Our boy Maul

[nicki0kaye]

so I fell in love with Kallus and then I really struggled wit drawing him, specifically his eyes. THAT WAS until I had a brain blast and realized this fuck is just a pursy lipped vintage Kurt Russell. Armed with this knowledge I have become unstoppable

Theseus really appreciates Asterius’ candor. It’s refreshing, y’know?

[nicki0kaye]

Hades appreciation hours

Uh so. SW Rebels is amazing? I adored it? Kanan and Hera are straight-passing goals, and Kanan deserves the curly hair the budget couldn’t give him

[nicki0kaye]

I was paid real money to draw a Hollow Knight meme it’s just so bright!!! and its just so smol 8<

[nicki0kaye]

Yeah so uhhhhhh I’ve fallen in love with Kallus Star Wars Rebels? He’s my new trashman fixation. and if you expect me to have any chill about my hyperfixations…you shouldn’t. you just shouldn't 

Look ok I really love the idea of characters defying preconceptions almost entirely bc they’re lying liars who lie. And Alexsandr Kallus is a big fat liar  

My headcanon for him is he grew up in a crime family in the Coruscanti Underworld and got the hell outta moldy Dodge by teaching himself how to ‘pass’ as ‘upper crust’. His accent is fake. His only schooling was the Imperial Academy and all'a those are gang tattoos he got as a teen. I did uhhh too much research for this? Really any research is too much but like. I went digging looking for Russian gang tattoo trends and found some doozies. Knife thru the throat = killed opponent in knife fight. Thieves adopted cats in hats/bowties as one of their like mascots. The Corusanti Ogre chewing on the republic symbol is basically a fuck you to the surface for leaving the Underworld to rot. And the shepherd’s hook is the symbol of his family and their commitment to ‘shepherding’ their community. Oh, and keeping mutant farm animals. On, like, level 800. I went a little far with it, I know.
